I love it. Fraud on a grand scale. Will the Canadians crack down on corporate crime? Maybe? It is Tesla, so there's a chance.

Oh, my friend, of course we can quantify it. There was a time when TSA didn't exist. And of course many other countries don't have TSA.

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 4 points 21 hours ago

TSA is worthless, my friend. Nobody should support their agency. Fire them all, please. I do, however, support workers unionizing and striking, and if that is TSA employees, high five.

It is funny how he is playing himself. Companies that export to the U.S. are obviously trying to establish and stabilize other markets, because that's basic economic stability. As they continue to do so, his tariffs continue to lose power.

Also, companies lie about jobs constantly. Many are officially always hiring but in fact don't process applications. Or they are low-ball pay positions, so of course nobody wants to apply at all.

The stats they referenced don't reflect that, of course, but the article authors should have mentioned it, to be ethical. We don't know the actual number of jobs available, except that it is definitely under what the listed numbers.

Be careful with your reasoning, my friend. Just because they want it doesn't mean they would survive it.

False. We saw what the Republicans did over the past two decades when they were in the minority. So we all know the potential. Why are you denying it?

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You know you're wrong. You know, as we all do, that even minority politicians have power to do a great many things.

Why did you change the topic, my friend? We're talking about walking out of Mr. Orange's speech, my friend.

Everyone agrees that the Democrats should be there for every vote. That's not a point of contention.

Of course you know you're lying, and I don't understand why. You can't think of a single non-performative act that the Democrats could do? Really? Seriously? Not one?

Come on now. At least recognize that they have some power, and say it's not enough. Then we might agree with you. But falsehoods won't get you anywhere.

It's even better if you do it one-at-a-time. If each person occupies 3 minutes, you can disrespect Mr. Orange for an hour or two easily enough.

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

Right. And people will die because of it. That's the problem, my friend.

If you live in a small town, your meds might come by mail. Your pension check too. That kind of mission critical thing. And that absentee ballot? Yeah, no, that's not gonna arrive on time.

Of course one could build alternative services. But in the meantime, at least, it will ruin a lot of things that are working properly right now. That is the point. That is the objective.

Here's Ozzy Man's critical analysis of Johnny Howard the Prime Minister buying back guns and crushin' them ay. It may have some relevance to current American events.

Can you think of any titles from real journal articles or essays that are eye-catching?

I'm writing a document for high school students taking an English writing class, and rather than create my own examples, why not use real ones? Several of my students have expressed frustration, and I have some guidelines and brainstorming tools, but what I don't have are two dozen neat examples.

 

OSAKA – An American man known for streaming provocative videos has been arrested on suspicion of breaking into a construction site in Osaka, police said Friday.

Ramsey Khalid Ismael, 23, known as "Johnny Somali" on YouTube, was arrested with another American, Jeremiah Dwane Branch, 24, who says he is a university student, according to police.

Ismael's videos include those in which he makes light of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and makes racist comments about Japanese people.

The two men allegedly made an unauthorized entry into a hotel construction site in Osaka's Chuo Ward on Aug. 30 with Branch filming a masked Ismael at the scene, according to the police.

They have told police they will not speak until they see lawyers, police said.
